Guest wilna Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi julleEk het bietjie na die woonbuurte suid van Adelaide gekyk en ek is mal daaroor, daar is bome, die huise lyk groter en dis nie sooo duur soos in die stad nie. Ek sal graag julle opinie wil hê oor die plekke en hulle skole. My dogter is volgende jaar gr.7 en seun gr.6 so ek moet na hoërskole en laerskole kyk.Aberfoyle Park Flagstaff HillHappy ValleyHallet CoveBackwood (het al gehoor die skool is goed)Eden HillsBellevue HillsOns wil aan die begin nie meer as $300 per week aan huur betaal nie. Ek het gaan kyk daar is nogal baie huise vir so $270.DankieWilna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dit lyk goed wat jy genoem het. As ek kan byvoeg wat woonbuurte betref hou ook Woodcroft en Trott Park in gedagte, goeie woonbuurte en die skole daar is ook puik.Groete,Dax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Annette has lived in Bellevue Heights for over a year now.This is just down the road from Blackwood and across the main road is Eden Hills.Travel time into the centre of Adelaide is about fifteen to twenty mins.I suggest you PM her.

Guest Seeya Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Thanx for this info Bob, wow it is difficult to choose.On the internet all the areas and schools look perfect and will suit us fine!! Can I go eeny-meeny-miny-mo??Hubby returned from Adelaide 2 weeks ago. He has only positive things to tell, but could not find the time to visit ALL suburbs.It seems one must relocate by staying in a holiday facility at first and then drive around to make the choice.But then to register the children in a school there, it must fall in the correct street address that the school allows.How did other people do this part of relocating? (Wilna, I hope you do not mind me adding this question to your thread)Seeya Edited November 2, 2007 by Seeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilna Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Dankie, Dax ek sal beslis na die buurte ook gaan kyk.Bob ek het nie geweet jy verstaan afrikaans nie, waar het jy geleer?Ek het al bietjie met Annette gesels maar dit was voor ek na huise bietjie verder uit die stad begin kyk het.Seeya, ek gee glad nie om nie, ons soek dan dieselfde antwoorde. Ek stem saam oor hoe moeilik dit is om te besluit, miskien moet ons maar eeny-meeny-miny-mo.Groete Wilna Edited November 2, 2007 by wilna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Wilna,ek kan nie Afrikaans verstaan nie, but I put the jigsaw puzzle together when I read Afrikaans and get about half of it to make the big Picture up.Sometimes I find I'm way off when answering people's questions if they've written Afrikaans, but there you go.I was thinking . . . . the southern suburbs are nice in Adelaide, but don't dismiss the Adelaide hills for a good lifestyle.Maybe the reason that loads and loads of Australians are shifting up into the Adelaide hills is that they know something . . . . like good access to Adelaide now that the South Eastern Freeway is built and the land prices are cheaper with loads of new housing estates and schools (especially private Christian schools) are going up.My home town of Mount Barker, just 30 minutes now from the heart of Adelaide, has exploded with new department stores being built in the past five years here . . . K-Mart, Harvey Norman, Radio Rentals, Spotlight, Godfreys, Woolworths, Coles, Autobarn to name a few! . . . . and housing estates??I can think of four new housing estates, each having about 50 houses in, that have mushroomed in Mount Barker in the past five years. . . . not bad for a little country town of only 6 000 people about a decade ago with 99% of the population being good old fashioned Australians.

Guest wilna Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Bob, thanks for trying to understand Afrikaans. My eng writing is terrible but I will try..... I do not know were the Adelaide Hills are, I have a map but it does not say "Adelaide Hills" anywhere.......Is it the part south and southeast of the city with all the conservation parks? Isn't housing a little expensive there? Edited November 3, 2007 by wilna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Al daai buurte is baie oulik, maar nogal verskillend. Ek stel voor julle kry 'n algemene idee van waarvan julle hou en kyk dan baie rond as julle eers hier is in daai algemene omgewing. Ons het nie eers geweet van Bellevue Heights voor ons hiernatoe gekom het nie (wou Belair toe trek) en toe ons eers begin rondry, toe gebeur dit sommer dat ons hier land! Ek moet julle almal egter waarksy: daar is baie gemors daar buite wat huurhuise aanbetref. Ons het die ongelooflikste hole gesien voor ons ons huis gekry het. Moet nie te gou moed verloor nie!Jy moet jou oe oophou in Aberfoyle Park en Happy Valley - altwee is baie groot areas en het 'n vreeslike wye verskeidenheid van mense en strate, sommige beter as ander. Daar is dele van Happy Valley bv. wat baie smart en luuks is, tot alles tussenin en dan tot redelik swak. Dis gewoonlik obvious wanneer dit nie 'n goeie straat is nie.. Aberfoyle Park is ongelukkig onlangs aangedui as die area in die "Mitcham Hills" stadsraadgebeid met die meeste misdaad. Ons praat nou hier van baie "petty crimes" en dwelmverwante inbrake, en vandalisme deur jong leegleers. Dit is egter merendeels 'n baie oulike buurt. Wees net versigtig met die goedkoper plekke daar. Dax is reg oor Woodcroft en Trott Park - baie oulik! Chandler's Hill is ook lekker en so ook Coromandel Valley en Craigburn. Die Adelaide Hills is die area Oos van die Mount Lofty rugge wat Adelaide se plein van die res van die binneland skei. Dit sluit in die hele groot area van Strathalbyn in die suide (baie baie oulik!) tot bietjie verder as Mount Barker in die ooste en noord tot by Gumeracha, Birdwood ens. Sien hier: http://www.visitadelaidehills.com.au/maps.aspDie grys area is die Adelaide Hills. Dis baie mooi oral daar. Heelwat koeler as Adelaide en baie groener ook. Daar is baie wyn en vrugteplase en die oulikste klein dorpies. Mount Barker is 'n baie goeie opsie en is een van die top 100 beste areas om te bele in Aus, volgens Property Investor Magazine. Dit is baie vinnig om van Mnt Barker tot in Adelaide te kom want daar is 'n groot snelweg in die stad in. Seeya, ons het klaar geweet watter skool ons van hou, want Marius het die vorige jaar Adelaide toe gekom met 'n kortlys van die skole wat goed gelyk het vir ons en almal van hulle besoek. Ons het toe seker gemaak dat ons in die area huur toe ons hier aanland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seeya Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 HI Annette,Dankie vir jou info. Ek het 'n wiskundeseuntjie en 'n musiekdametjie en verkies om hul in dieselfde skool te hê. Nou kyk ek maar op die internet en raai-raai ek al die pad wat oulik lyk. Ek vind dit moeilik, want ek weet in Aus is alle skole goed.Weet jy dalk van hierdie IGNITE skole. Is dit iets wat mens moet oorweeg of is dit dalk die té groot skole (dalk elite-skole soos hier in RSA?) Ek krap regtig hier in die donker.Thanx vir enige infoSeeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Here a Google map that indicates the Adelaide Hills Area. The "Hills" are is mostly in th erighr hand side of the map.adelaide_hills.pdfHope you find it usefulDax Edited November 3, 2007 by Dax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven & Janis Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi,Good luck in the search for a house. The suburbs you have chosen are nice. When we first arrived here I was very keen to move to Craigburn Farm, Blackwood area. We are on our way to Sydney at the end of this month so I will be in the same boat as you! If any of you are looking for a fantastic primary school, I can honestly say that Glen Osmond Primary, is brilliant. Better than any school I encountered in SA. This is in the Eastern side of Adelaide, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilna Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Dankie, ek waardeer al julle hulp en vriendelikheid.Ek dink ek het nou min of meer 'n idee waar wat is en waar ons sal wil bly. Ons sal nou maar moet wag tot ons land en dan die plekke besoek en kyk of daar 'n huisie iewers met ons naam op is. Dis so goor op die oomblik het ons al die tyd in die wêreld maar kan niks verder doen tot ons visas goedgekeur is nie, daarna gaan ons soos afkop hoenders moet rondhardloop om alles gedoen te kry. Weereens dankie, sien julle oor so paar maande in Adelaide. Wina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
